The Farmer’s Problems “We are as yet in the schoolboy stage in regard to intensive agriculture in Ontario” was a remark recently heard. Nature richly endowed the soil 1 of Ontario but there are parts where' the response is not quite so brisk as formerly. There must be as much re- turned to the soil as is removed in craps i1 continued bumper cr0ps are to be harvested. The question to de- cide to each farm is. what is required and how may it most advantageously be applied. The iarms carrying a heavy stock are in the best heart but here the question of how to make the best use of the teed grown comes up for con- \ideratlon. New Lecturn in Horticulture Mr. John 1“.

One of the greatest dangers on farms with many fenced fields is of piling up too many furrows agamst the fences. On some farms this has been practised for so long that embankments half as high as the fence are around some fields. Persistent back-furrowing here and there will bring such land into shape after a time. One rule should be never to plow a field the same way twice in succession. With the proper laying out and handling of “lands” it is possible to keep fields free from ob- jectionable “dead furrows” and ridges. It is the matter of having the shape of tthe land in mind all the time. Annual 0. A. C.

Veteran Hen Dies The “oldest hen resident” of Ben'ie Township. Welland County, died last month after a career extending over twenty years. She was “Granny", 3 Plymouth Rock owned by Mr. and Mrs. George W. Lawson, of Ridgeway. Born in 1910. the Methuselah of Welland henneries had spent her entire 20 years and one month on the same farm. In ' her younger years she regularly hatched two broods of chicks per year, and in 1920. her last working year, “Granny” was set on pheasant’s eggs to ihatch. When the pheasants were not discernible after 21 days she walked away from the nest and failed to re- turn. Pheasant's eggs take _28 days.

Whatever its effect upon the general public who listened to it, Mr. Bennett's speech was inspirational to his follow- ers.

As irnportant as his declaration in that respect. was his announcement at Winnipeg that he would see that no! the consumer. The chief attack which has been levelled against a protective tariff in the past has been that it per- mitted exploitation of the consumer. If Mr. Bennett has found a means of surmounting that obstacle he will have gone a long way toward making at least three quarters of Canada unani- mously in favor of protection for the Canadian market. agricultural and industrial. ”~"----n Ann hf In point of general acceptance 1111: u. his outstanding pledges was that in favor of a national old age pensions scheme.

First he made it plain that the Conservative party stands firmly behind the Cana- dian National Railways. Then he said “We pledge ourselves to the improve-‘ ment of the whole scheme of Canadian [transportation northward by the com- 'pletion of the Hudson Bay route and 'the construction of such branches as may be necessary to render it most readily available to every part of Can- ‘ada; to the Pacific slope by a Peace River outlet, and east and west by the Development of the St. Lawrence wa- terways, and we pledge ourselves to aid .existing traffic channels, and to in- â€" L‘- - “‘4‘.“ and Pacific Oceans, and to the estab-l lishment of a national highwayi system."

Then the Grand Trunk itself an- nounced that it would not carry on without Government aid and after re- fusing a fixed sum 1n compensation for the common stock and junior secur- ities of the Company the directorate agreed to arbitrate.

The amount of meal required per 100 pounds gain was materially increased in the litters which showed the presence of parasites. Preventive measures against para- sites cannot be emphasized too strong- ly, some of which are sanitation. which I implies thorough disinfecting of pens‘ previous to farrowing and from {arrow- .ing time on, giving a recommended ivermifuge to the sow a few weeks pre- vious to farrowing, thorough washing of the sow two or three days previous to iarrowing and disinfecting with creolin. Last but not least the pigs should not be allowed to run on the same land year after year. On the av- erage farm the sows and litters can be kept on new land nearly every year. This will assist in keeping the pigs tree from parasites, thus retaining their health and vigor and increasing the farmer’s net income from his hogs. Pre- vention is undoubtedly better than cure in the case of parasites. 5V“ “V ”-v wâ€"â€"... - have even seen!
